Want to buy some illusions,
Slightly used, second hand?
They were lovely illusions,
Reaching high, built on sand.

They had a touch of paradise,
A spell you can’t explain:
For in this crazy paradise,
You are in love with pain.

Want to buy some illusions,
Slightly used, almost new?
They were lovely illusions –
And they’re all about you.

I sell them all for a penny,
They make pretty souvenirs.
Take my lovely illusions –
Some for laughs, some for tears.

For memories, for photographs
For laughter, for drinks
For memories, some for laughter
Some for tears, for memories, illusions, photographs, movies
